10.5, that thing looks awesome!  Looks like you'll be needing some friends to help you devour it (wouldn't want it to go to waste ;D ).  Time for a ham-eatin' party ?
I like animals, they taste good!

Hamzilla has been torn down. Made a couple of ham steaks, cubed some for tater soup and other dishes. Then I sliced the rest of it. Here's a couple of pictures.

Now, that is a "proper" sized ham steak.

Have not done a ham from scratch yet, but your adventure may just put me up to it.  Now only to find a fresh ham!

The ham steak is only about 3/4 in thick. Yes it is laying on a Corelle serving platter. Should be a good snack on a cold day!!

That's just simply HAMAZING Chris. Nice work.
I like to walk threw life on the path of least resistance. But sometimes the path needs a good kick in the ass.

Heck man that turned out looking awesome!

That is amazing looking. It has also inspired me to try one...but maybe not a full blown "hamzilla" for the first try  ;)

I would highly suggest staying in the 10-12 lb range for a first try. Not that it is any easier or that much shorter of a cook. Just that this is a pile of meat!!

In the 10-12 pound range what cut, specifically should I request from my butcher?  Boned?
